Nursing Sister WW1 Photo Album 35R Blighty

This
Photo Archive consists of a small autograph album (6.5" by 5.25") kept
by Constance (Connie) Philips as a memento of her time serving as a
nurse during World War One.

The majority of the photos and items are from 1915, when she served as a nurse in France and Britain.

WW1 35R Blighty

Note that "Blighty" was a slang word for "Britain"

The
album and all photographs, postcards, and other ephemera contained in
the album belong to Karin Armstrong and may not be copied or republished
without her written permission. The images will be published on Olive
Tree Genealogy with permission.

Each image has been designated
an "R" for Recto or a "V" for Verso plus an album page number. Recto is
the right-hand side page of a bound book while Verso is the left-hand
side page.

I will be posting the entire album and my additional
research on the individuals identified in Connie's album over the coming
months so please check back frequently to view these historic photos.
